in my new (old) house i have a back boiler,would it be an easy swap to fit a combi boiler instead ( in a different place)and remove the back boiler all together?,or is it not that simple?

also what would be the best make of boiler to get?in my other houses i had worcester 28si`s fitted and never had any trouble at all
this is a 4 bedroom house with 7 rads at the mo,but will be having an extension done to add 2 more rooms.looking at something that could cope with 12 rads really.

any idea`s
cheers

Combis can run that amount of rads easy, its the hot water delivery

that lets them down, basically there crap

There fine for small houses or flats, but for larger houses I would never fit one I'm afraid.

Rip the back boiler out, and if funds allow go for a pressurised system,

with an unvented hot water cylinder, and heat only boiler.

I always fit Baxi/Potterton boilers but any of the big names like;

Worcester or Gloworm you can't really go wrong.

Cheers

 

if u get a boiler with a pressure vessel for your heating make sure it can handel 12 rads some are only ment for 8 or 9 rads so u might need an additional pressure vessel or u will be forever topping up your water

 

Go for a Vallient 831 Combi.......It will run that lot easy and is a shithot boiler

 

so it`s safe to say rip the old back boiler out then

the vallient range seem to be ery efficent boilers,thanks guys

 

been looking at the next one up from the 631,the 637.
seems very future proof and a reasonable price

The 837 is a vey big boiler

 

tiff,how do you mean very big?

i have the space to fit it,or do you men it`s overkill for what i need?

would it not be best to have a bigger boiler than needed so it ain`t over worked?

should soldier on for years than

cheers
